* Preset value. ** To execute with cold machine. For the execution of the cycles 3,4,7,10 the machine
asks to load the tank of the clean water even if the still minimal level is in order. To avoid this it is
possible to demand the predisposition of the machine for the connection to the waterworks.
7.2 Notes and warnings
1- Strictly comply with the manufacturer's instructions when sterilizing materials.
2- To preserve packaged and loose sterilized materials, the trays must be stored in special cabinets
fitted with ultraviolet lamps and designed for this specific use.
3- If the articles are to be stored for a longer period, it is advisable to use our covered trays code 1474 +
2682 and tray holders code 2631 supplied on request.
4- Whenever a sterilizing process is carried out, it is advisable to add a chemical indicator that we can
supply on request, code 1468.
5- It is advisable to purchase a printer with date stamp code M 9003 to file and record the sterilizing
cycles and any faults that may have occurred.
6 - There must always be trays and tray-holders in the chamber. Without these accessories, abnormal
pressures and temperatures could develop inside and these could cause the cycle to abort.
7 - It is advisable to place a phial containing culture spores in the chamber along with each load sterilized
in order to make sure that the sterilizing process is valid.
8 - When packeted materials are sterilized, it is very important to use support art. M9050. This support
can hold up to 20 packets (max. 3 instruments per packet). To use this accessory, it is essential to remove
the support and all trays from the chamber. The non-perforated tray may only be used to sterilize turbines
(handpieces) to prevent lubricant from being spread around the chamber. Only use perforated trays to
sterilize packeted instruments and always remove non-perforated ones from the chamber. If the packets
are not perfectly dry at the end of the sterilizing process, proceed with the supplementary drying cycle
with cycle (9) “special”.
